Round 5 to release new "UFC Titans" figures in November

The figures first hit store shelves in November as part of what’s expected to be biannual series releases.

The first figures, which will retail for $14.99, feature the likenesses of UFC legends Randy Couture, Royce Gracie, Chuck Liddell, B.J. Penn and Georges St-Pierre.

Round 5 previously has released dozens of various figures. But the UFC Titans line will be a bit different.

“For the last three years, we have had a great time working on our Ultimate Collector Series and the complementary UFC Live and UFC Versus collections,” Round 5 president Damon Lau stated. “We are incredibly excited to announce our latest project: UFC Titans. As the UFC has grown into a mainstream sport, we wanted to produce a new line that appeals to our current fans as well as the new audiences who are finally recognizing mixed martial arts as the greatest sport on earth.”

The new figures are an inch short (and stand 5 inches tall) but share the same points of articulation at the neck, waist, arms and fists. According to Round 5, the Titans line features a more light-hearted design featuring oversize heads and all-vinyl construction.

A total of 26 fighters got their chance to shine on Saturday as part of UFC 190 at Rio de Janeiro’s HSBC Arena. Now that UFC 190 is in the books, it’s time to commence MMAjunkie’s “Three Stars” ceremony.

The man known for cranking submissions to the point of injury added eye-gouging to his repertoire. But is the controversy of Rousimar Palhares too essential to his bizarre, awful appeal for his employers to take any meaningful action against him?
